Adopt a pet at weekend Marin fair

Hundreds of dogs, cats, rabbits and other homeless pets were at Marin Center Saturday in what is being hailed as "the most adoptable pets ever in one spot in the Bay Area." Most Northern California pet adoption and rescue agencies participated in the Bay Area Pet Fair and Adoptathon in the hope that 500 adoptable pets would find new homes during the weekend-long event. Some 435 pets were adopted last year. The fair is free and continues from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at 10 Avenue of the Flags in San Rafael. It also features stunt shows by rescue dogs, a dock for dogs to dive and get wet, a Marin Humane Society agility course and demonstrations by police K-9 teams. Adopting families will receive a $25 Pet Food Express gift card and $50 will be donated to rescue and adoption agencies.
